Application Instructions:

1. Start Poser.

2. Empty the scene and then load V4 and turn off IK and zero the figure.

3. Open the Props library and then NaturalBounce.

4. Select the chest area of V4 and load the Breast L and Breast R tools.

5. Select the hip area of V4 and load the Buttock L and Buttock R tools.

6. Select the chest area of V4 again.

7. Now you will see the two coloured orbs to the left and right of V4 with the black discs underneath.

8. The Natural Bounce tools work just like magnets, the orb is like the magnet and the base (black disc) is like the magnet base.

9. If you have the V4 morphs I would recommend setting Breast Large to 1.000 and the Nipple morph to 1.000 the first time you try out the tools so you can see clearly how they work.

10. Select the chest area and then select one of the coloured orbs using the transformation tool (cross with arrows in the tool bar).

11. Click and hold your mouse button on the coloured orb and move the mouse around to see how the body follows the movements. You can move the camera around to move the breast in different directions. Just experiment a bit to get a feel for the tool.

12. If you want to control the orb more precisely just select it and then use the dials in the dials menu to move it around.

13. Moving the orbs for buttock control works in the same way, but you should select the hip area before selecting an orb.

14. To use an item of clothing simply load it and parent it to V4 in the usual way.

15. Select the item of clothing.

16. Open the Pose library and then NaturalBounce.

17. Load the Magnetize Clothing pose.

18. Select either the hip or chest area of V4.

19. Now when you move the orbs the body and also the clothing will follow the movements. NOTE: If you are using body morphs on your V4 figure the clothing must also contain these morphs and they must be set up to match the body morph you are using on V4.

20. The orbs are smart propped to V4 which means when you load a pose they will follow V4 automatically.

21. Try loading some poses and then posing the orbs as above to get a feel for this.

22. The tools are compatible with V4 and A4 with all of their different body morphs right out of the box. There is no need to make any adjustments to use them with these characters.

23. If you want to try out the tools with other characters or if you want to make any adjustments to them yourself please follow the instructions below:

a) More often than not you will want to make an adjustment to the zone. To do this simply select an orb and then select the corresponding zone (white ring).

b) Alter the zone using the dials in the dials menu e.g. move it up or down or left and right or make it bigger or smaller.

c) Keep going back to the orb and moving it around to see what effect changing the zone has on the movement of the body
and/or clothing.

d) Other ways of adjusting the tools include moving the base around and scaling or rotating the orb.

e) Select an orb and then select the base (black disc) underneath it.

f) Move the base around using the transformation tool or the dials.

g) Try positioning it directly behind the breast area.

h) Select the orb again and try scaling and rotating it to see what kind of effect this has on the body and/or clothing.

24. When you render the scene the orbs and other coponents will not be visible.

25. Keep experimenting and see what you can do with the tools. There are lots of possibilities!



Tips and Limitations:

Certain poses may lead to some strange effects across different areas of the body when using the tools. This can be adjusted by follwing the steps in part 23. above.

Take a look at your handbook for more tips and techniques on using magnets.

I hope you enjoy these tools for V4/A4 and that they help you to add some more realism to your renders. Have fun!
